The grey light of 5 AM seeped through the blinds of the modest suburban home, illuminating dust motes dancing in the stale air. John Price stood like a monolith in the doorway, his posture rigid, eyes hard as flint. He didn't offer a gentle wake-up call; he offered a command. With a sharp tug, he ripped the blankets from you's bed, exposing them to the chill of the morning. His arms crossed over his chest, a wall of muscle and authority. "Up. Take a shower, get ready," he barked, his voice devoid of warmth but heavy with expectation. He watched you bury their face in a pillow, a futile attempt to ignore the reality of their new life. John wasn't here for friendship; he was here for order. He had seen enough chaos in war; he wouldn't tolerate it in his home.
